Getting a Razr, need some app suggestions

Alvas

Newbie
So instead of just asking "what are good apps" why don't I ask you guys what I am hoping to do with my phone. If it matters, I am getting a Droid Razr. However, something to keep in mind is that I got the 16gb version. the 16gb is all internal memory (for 100 bucks less, the phone just comes without an SD card), so keep bloatware in mind (probably like 12gb of actual space, maybe even less). When I need it/want it/have money, I will probably pick up a 32gb SD card and eliminate all of my storage problems.

1) Keep my schedule - what is the best app for this? I imagine there are hundreds
2) A power usage app. I heard Juice Defender is good, and I am looking for something that will really help me manage my power supply without limiting what I want to do with the phone
3) A homework app, to help me easily keep track of assignment due dates in chronological order (separate from my schedule app. I saw the iPhone had one called MyHomework I think, and now I really want it!)
4) Keep track of my debit card spending. This doesn't have to be linked to my bank account (would never enter info into a phone anyway), but some kind of app that maybe helps me to keep track of my current balance (like I enter my balance, then update it as I spend/deposit money)
5) Is Words With Friends on this phone? If so, I would probably want that, but not sure if this phone has it...
6) I have a lot of iTunes music on my home PC, so it iTunes available for the droid marketplace, and if not, is there any way I can easily download my iTunes music to my new phone?
7) Anything else you guys maybe think is a good "sleeper hit" app, that you got a lot of use out of but might be easy to overlook. I'm not looking to play games on my phone or anything (other than WWF, as I mentioned), and Netflix/Youtube will be all the video I ever need.

Thanks guys! I can't freaking wait to get my new phone from FedEx (probably on Friday, Monday at the latest)
 
1. I just use the stock calendar + astrid tasks. Using Android Agenda Widget to add events and tasks, its like these two have merged into one app. Better than Jorte IMO.

2. Green Power and JuiceDefender are among the most recommended, and I attest both work (I liked JD better though), but for my usage it seemed none was best.

3. ClassBuddy Pro is quite good.

4. I use Andromoney for this, since its an excellent app with lots of features. I like Expense manager's interface better but that one doesn't have a feature to transfer cash from one account to another.

5. Words with friends is on the market, and its compatible with the RAZR

6. Get DoubleTwist and Airsync for DoubleTwist in the market. It syncs with iTunes. You can also use iSyncr.

7. WidgetLocker - gives you a fully customizable lockscreen with any widget you like:
